Hi,
What are the partitions which should be backed up after rooting OP8?
Since TWPR is not available for Android 11, I guess have to be done manually.
Already taken backup of persist partition, anything else? are there not EFS partition anymore ?

For some reasons im missing efs partitions and i cant flash any roms, but i dont have backup of this partitions, how can i repair it?
Hi , as the title says, I want to go back from NexusOS 9.0 to the Nougat Stock ROM on my SM-G920F.
Fortunately, I made a /system + /data backup with TWRP before flashing NexusOS.
I was thinking of (correct me if i'm wrong) :
wiping system, data and cache
Restore backup from within TWRP
Will this procedure allow me to get my stock ROM back with all my apps, sms, contacts,calls, etc... ?
Wait for anyone who has done the exact change, but I'll add:
/data/media/ (.../sdcard, internal storage) might not be backed up and could be lost once the /data is formatted.
Any loss of cellular is probably related to /data/data/..., and the firmware in use, backup the EFS anyway but don't wipe the EFS or restore the EFS (unless 100% sure)
Thanks for your answer !
Internal storage isn't wiped when wiping data (I kept all my files when installing NexusOS) and I didn't experience any problems related to cellular, so I guess EFS hasn't been modified/wiped.
But you're right, I'll wait a bit too have more advices
Nobody ever did this procedure ?
Hi guys,
I have a oneplus 7 pro and I have a question related to the persist partition.
If I inadvertently corrupt the persist partition and had previously made a full backup of all partitions with TWRP, if i restore the persist partition with TWRP, will i lose the Widevine L1 anyway?
do i have to unencrypt my device in order to restore/backup and maybe even flash from on it? I've seen in twrp it tells me backups and restores may not work fully due to being encrypted
No, I guess.
The only partition encrypted is your internal storage and twrp can't take a backup of that.
So, you can try by yourself, just remember to take your cautious.
in old devices I always made a backup of this partitions:
Boot
System
Data
Vendor
And restored without problems, just make a factory reset before and maybe flash magisk after restoration
Having my V60EA rooted with all my apps installed and configured I started to wonder how to perform a backup.
On a file level I have working Swift Backup, NeoBackup and partially old good Titanium Backup.
The question is how to wisely backup on a partition level. TWRP seems to be not ready yet (or am I wrong?) What then? QFIL and manual backup of all those dozens of partitions? Or maybe this doesn't make sense as there is KDZ file? Maybe I should backup just a set of crucial partitions, like boot_a/b (already got them backed up) and some others?
From everything I've read so far, my first step will be to get into QFIL and make a backup of every single partition in case I make a huge stuffup and need to restore any of them. It seems to save a lot of people from certain doom.
Still battling to understand what a FTM is as this seems like it's going to be pretty important for my Verizon to make it to EA successfully.
I think you could omit user data partition if you use another backup tool like SwiftBackup, OAndBackupX/NeoBackup etc.
And there are about 108 other partitions to backup. System is the biggest or of them - 21GB. I've just backed them up.
Ok, via qfill backup QCN than backup vital partitions of LUN 5, maybe you will be need it some time.
Than make full backup partitions you do not need backup userdata partition.
I am working like this made backup full there is rooted made system rw and some customizations. Than when. I set all my userdata customization and apps I am using migrate tool to backup userdata apps, settings... Also I can using LP to backup apps data.

You do not need backup single one by one partition, you can do it several of vital partitions than make backup.
If you want to croosflash Verizon to EA you do not need Verizon FTM you need EA FTM.
In FTM stored some temporary data like imei, ntcode, s/n... While first booting it write data from other vital partitions. You do not care so much about FTM.
